Services & Products

Corona Space´s services comprise a wide range of services related to space surveillance, used by governmental and commercial entities to insure safe operations of their spacecrafts and ground operations:

Space Surveillance Consultancy

Corona Space offers consultancy services that are adapted to our clients needs, including: collision avoidance maneuvers, re-orbiting and de-orbiting at end-of-life, in-orbit risk assessment for insurance companies, object identification, ITU watchdog, and space security related studies.

Spacecraft In-Orbit Collision Risk Assessment

The density of space objects steadily increases especially in Low Earth Orbit where the sink term represented by the atmospheric drag is not efficient enough to counter-balance the source terms (new launches and in-orbit explosions). Even if the associated probability is still very low, the collision is likely to be catastrophic for the space asset to protect due to the high relative velocity between the two objects and generates a bunch of fragments which can be very damaging for other space objects. It is therefore necessary to avoid as much as possible collisions of controlled space assets with uncontrolled or controlled (less likely) space objects.

Space Object Identification and Tracking

Identification of the space objects is an important issue considering the liability of the owners in case of collision with other space assets. Also in term of abnormal behavior of spacecraft and loss of control, identification and tracking the object can have vital importance.

Space Object Re-Entry Risk Assessment

All space objects on sufficiently low Earth orbits eventually re-enter either naturally as a consequence of the influence of atmospheric drag (uncontrolled re-entry), or after a propulsive maneuver (controlled re-entry). In any case, it is necessary to know the danger associated with the re-entry either characterized by the probability of being hit by the fraction of the objects reaching the ground (direct human casualty) or characterized by the areas polluted by the rest of the space objects, a typical example being when a space object with a nuclear reactor re-enters.
